Nathdwara lies 48 kms from Udaipur and literally means the gateway to the
Lord. This great Vaishnavite shrine was built in the 17th century on spot
exactly defined by the Lord himself. The legends have it that the image
of the Lord Krishna was being transferred to safer place from Vrindaban
to protect it from the destructive wrath of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.
The image when it reached the spot it vehicle the bullock carts wheel sank
axel deep in mud and refused to move further. The accompanying priest realised
that this was lord's chose spot and the image did not want to travel any
further. Accordingly a Temple was built here.
This is revered temple and place of pilgrim amongst believers. Devotees throng the shrine in large number during occasions of "Janamashtmi" the day of Lord's birth and other festivals like Holi. The priests treat if like a living deity and tend to the lord with daily normal function like bathing- dressing meals called "prasad" and the resting times in regular intervals. The main attractions are the Arties and the Shringar. The formal prayer offered with diya, insentsticks, flowers, fruit and other offerings with local instruments and devotional songs of the Lord according to the demand of the time and occasion. The fine intricately woven shaneels & silk cloth with real original zari and shredded work done upon them along with tones of real jewellers, which are of antique value, looks dazzling. The view of the idol after the pardha (curtain) is removed is a spectacular sight that is simply mesmerizing leading to a melee (gully) of visitors, crowding divine lord. The mystic, spirited aura of India comes alive.
